"It was brilliant to get 90 minutes under my belt," said the 6ft 7ins centre-half. "We could have won the game comfortably, but the pitch played a factor."

Looking ahead to his home debut against Southport at The New Lawn on Saturday, he added: "We haven't lost yet in this calendar year, so we still have that momentum with us. Let's just see what we can do."
